I’m very proud to say that my first piece of Synth hardware EVER, is this magnificent machine!! I recently bought one brand new in Australia and the music shop that I bought it from, sent me an email saying that they’re happy to extend the “Voluntary Manufacturers Warranty” from Waldorf(which is 12months), by two years in exchange for $320.00. After I read it, I laughed my ass off because the Consumer Laws in Australia demand that any product physically sold in this country HAS TO HAVE a warranty of at least TWO YEARS. So regardless of what Waldorf says, if they want their product to be sold in Australia, IT IS COMPULSORY to comply with our Consumer Laws. I responded to the music shop’s email and politely said no to their offer, since they should also know about our consumer laws, Plus it was a failed cash grab attempt by them. So everyone, know your country’s consumer laws so you can get the best out of your equipment.
@@JohnTrasherHe has no idea what he is talking about. A manufacturer sets a warranty. Consumer Laws ensure warranties are honoured. But the Australian government doesn't impose their own statutory warranties. I've been selling in Australia for 25 years.
@@adamjacksonmediahi it’s been a while since I made this comment and I was on a hype when I made it as I was very excited to receive my synth. But correct me if I’m wrong; for a product to be legally sold in Australian stores, isn’t the warranty standard within Australian consumer law 2 years…regardless of what the manufacturers say? I appreciate any response. As I get to learn new things. Thank you.
@@JohnTrasherhi it’s been a while. Sorry for any confusion. Yes I bought it in an Australian store and I live in Australia. And yes, I believe the store than deals with the manufacturer but since Waldorf doesn’t have a store within Australia. They have to go through a supplier(Link Audio, they’re the only supplier) which then on sells Waldorf products to physical stores Australia wide. Since they are selling products through physical stores, to my knowledge, they still have to lawfully obey Australian consumer law standards. I hope this clarifies it for you. Thank you.
I bought a studio logic Sledge and I LOVE it ,,Anderton ,,, Waldorf makes some amazing synths ,,, you did not get in to that synthesizer enough ,,,you should have played a lot more ,,,I bet that synth Is mind blowing ,,,
Think I'd go for the 3rd Wave over this, something about 4 paired stereo outs is a better dealio for me. I would never complain about having the Quantum though. Gr8 work Jack, thx for the upload (and Andertons).
@@Pulse2AM there is 4 synth engines, so you can record or track them separately, so essentially you have 6 voice x 4 synth engines. So 4 synths in 1 box.
A beast ! But who would dare to create his own sounds with such a crazy, full of knobs machine ? One must know how to build a space ship, before doing anything with this "thing ?"...😆
Practice with VSTs. If you can't get the hang of subtractive synthesis in general, then yes, creating custom patches on a Quantum is out of the question.
I'm in the same boat but to be honest MIDI a regular 5 octave to it and you'll be 90% of the way there.... there isn't much difference AFAIK apart from the 8 (and not 16) analogue filters..
@@neilloughran4437 this is a good point and sufficient for most use cases. I have a show on here though where the iridium keys is a pretty large focal point, wouldn’t be the best for me to swap a midi controller in its place. Really want those analog filters
I think you do need a new keyboard.. but um.. maybe for your computer first. You could look at the new Analogue Solutions Maximus for a purely analogue new polysynth
Thanks but what do you mean by keyboard?MIDzi or something like Analog Synth with keyboard....I'm notbdure whst hou mean by that....If I plug fomenog My devices to computer then IT isn't Analog anymore,sory but didn't you knew that?
Well....I think that now you sre on The right trsck with me on this csse of mine...., that sounds something that could be for me ,Thanks man ...I let you know later.......
....but still..... Sooooooo AMAZING DEVICE THIS SEEMS TO BE ASO!!!Would live to get this and I would but I ain't(yet😅)a millionaire who can choose whatever I found in5rsting and sounds just AMAZING THAN THIS ONE!!!
Nice playing Jack, but the Quantum / Iridium's factory patches are notoriously naff - what we need is Waldorf's equivalent of George from UDO passionately twiddling knobs and showing us what it's really capable of when you dig in - which is a lot more than the factory patches would suggest!
Agree.. some nice patches in the Iridium but ultimately most are terrible and you end up rolling your own (which is the way it should be I suppose).... I have the Iridium keyboard and would love this but I don't think its that much more in the way of features... I can play my Iridium via Prophet 5 for the 5 octaves if I need them...
They also updated the screen which was known to have problems on the MKI. The added internal storage is also nice. And this is minor but to me I love the updated color! For me, I’d rather get a brand new version with bugs worked out then potentially getting an older MKI that has some issues. This one also has a warranty and return policy. If you buy new: MKII all the way If you find a great deal on used: MKI for sure!
@@googlingthevoid Yes, plus the large frame aound the screen and the knobs look better on the MK1. To me it's like going from the future to retro in looks. But it's subjective of course.
@@lumpichu good point! It is a bit of a nod to synths from the past. I’m a sucker for blue and colorful synths. The black and slate gray look gets a bit boring to me. I even put the pinstripe overlay on my OB-X8 😂
The Prophet X is not a rompler as the misinformed youtuber said. The Prophet X has a synth engine with classic and supersaw waveforms and also has a sample engine. The Waldorf has 5 engines including VA, FM, Wavetable, Multi and Granular Sampling, and additive. Both are bi-timbral.
Even with analog filters this synth does not justify its current outrageous market value. It sounds no better than a VST. This synth is the perfect example of a VST in a box.

Guess why my kids will starve next month!
More like next 6 months 😂
If your kid's are going to starve next month, I hope that you and the misses are going without too. 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😄
Feed em some tasty grooves with your new Quantum!
You can always make some new ones. Whereas this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance! 😂
😂
I am not a musician, but this blows me away….

A little confusing... was it an Australien store? Warranty is held by the seller right? He in return has to deal with manufacturer right?

The absolute best synth demo you’ve made in ages Jack …musical, truly inspiring…. lovely chords played on lovely synth!!
Great to see Waldorf gear featured for once. This looks and sounds amazing, I got the Blofeld keyboard a few months ago and love it.
I've heard a lot of synths but holy moly, this one is incredible
Awesome sounds and well played as always Jack 🙏🏻✨🕊🌈♥️👌🏻🍀 btw… I Love the spacy background 😃✌🏻
What a beast! L❤VE those sounds!
I just came in my pants on the 3. Progression. Well done, Jack!
That Polaris is glorious!! Diggin the digital effects on screen. IceCave has some amazing ambience to it. Love the reverb on it. Stretcher is smooth.
Jack channelling a bit of Brian Eno “An Ending”” on the first demo. Nice👍
Im definetly getting this!!!
A Sound Designers Dream!
Polyphonic aftertouch. Nice demo!
I bought a studio logic Sledge and I LOVE it ,,Anderton ,,, Waldorf makes some amazing synths ,,, you did not get in to that synthesizer enough ,,,you should have played a lot more ,,,I bet that synth Is mind blowing ,,,
That’s the first time I’ve seen you actually play seriously, without the foolishness and shenanigans.
Absolutely Beautiful!
Maybe he was just that blown away.
I ❤ the beautiful blue. 😍
You must get a Roland JP8080 then, too 😉
1st patch was proper Sasha!! Nice 🤪
5:18 oh no it's not an Osmose! 🤣
Is there an interview with Jack yet? I'd love to know his influences and how he developed his style.
Yes there is a Captain Meets…. ruclips.net/video/LNlrhu1shdg/видео.htmlsi=vcmxfKxXklffdwBQ
This and an OB-X8 Dream Team!
impressionnant perfect !!!!
Holy shxtbiscuit.... this is stellar!
If I primarily want to make sounds similar to this JH WheelTrain ambient pad patch sound for less price than the Quantum, what would you recommend?
this thing is a banger
Nice
Interesting patches. The keys sounded ‘clicky’ while you were playing. Is it just the the mic picking this up or are does this have a noisy keybed?
@2:58 that is SICK!
Which one do you think to buy for pension, this or Moog one?
How many preset premade are there?
Sounds good tho!!!
Damn! Just got an OBX8. This has to wait now... until... Xmas? 😂
It took some time for Jack to stop playing the keys like it's the Osmose :)
Text at 1:11 is wrong - The Mk2 has poly aftertouch, not just channel aftertouch. It's the main feature!
Think I'd go for the 3rd Wave over this, something about 4 paired stereo outs is a better dealio for me.
I would never complain about having the Quantum though.
Gr8 work Jack, thx for the upload (and Andertons).
The 3rd Wave also have those delicious Rossum filters - and 24 of them!
Just curious a serious question. How do you use 4 pairs of stereo outs? I've never had that in a product I have owend.
@@Pulse2AM there is 4 synth engines, so you can record or track them separately, so essentially you have 6 voice x 4 synth engines.
So 4 synths in 1 box.
Beautiful Synth but I definitely don't have a four and a half grand budget 😢

I own the Quantum MK2. I dare 😎(I was bored building spaceships)

Super beaux synth matrice génial ! Mais c 'est tout rien dans le ventre son platonique, froid, et métallique 🤫
Damnit am I going to have to upgrade from my iridium keys

Just wondering which of my internal organs are non essential, so I can trade them in for this beast.
good demo. i feel the blue colour make it cheap and uninspiring but sure you don't ...
Wdym it has channel aftertouch?! It has polyaftertouch

Yeah. Go check Matt Johnson’s demo video on the iridium (he should do the Quantum v2 if not already). These patches didn’t do it justice to my ears.
@@wavesequencer agree... Starsky's demo was also awesome...
Dunno - I find the majority of factory patches pretty nice, e.g. 3:10 and the following ones.
This comment made me spent 3 hours on Matt Johnson's channel, thank you for the recommendation! @@wavesequencer
If you don't need the polyphonic aftertouch , just get the quantum mk I 🙂

Already said, but the video caption needs updating g - it’s Poky AT not Channel AT - one of its very few selling points over the original.
Similar to prophet x
Prophet X is a rompler, kind of different type of subtractive synthesizer.
The Prophet X is not a rompler as the misinformed youtuber said. The Prophet X has a synth engine with classic and supersaw waveforms and also has a sample engine. The Waldorf has 5 engines including VA, FM, Wavetable, Multi and Granular Sampling, and additive. Both are bi-timbral.
Cool. Synth. But what where Waldorf thinking with that new logo?
Beautiful.....sadly costs more than I paid for my first house !
Even with analog filters this synth does not justify its current outrageous market value. It sounds no better than a VST. This synth is the perfect example of a VST in a box.
It sounds lovely and is probably running off a super, super cheap ARM CPU/GPU combo.
You lost a sale from me, because you couldn't offer a three year warranty!

If your gonna charge that much then it better not just compete with plugins, it should far outstrip them. It doesn’t. Lovely interfaces though
It sounds great but those are your dads patches, how about stepping into 2023 and beyond with programming patches Waldorf?
Nah, Ill stick to the Virus Ti 2
c est quoi ces gens qui ne savent pas jouer du claviers ! ! ! à 3000 balles ....
Price is too high for a great synth with shitty sounds
Nah, just an expensive midi controller running vst's through an analog filter.
Weren’t digital synths around long before vst’s?
I mean pretty much every hardware synth can be replaced with a vst. There are good enough analog-style vsts available. The workflow is what sets hardware apart.
@@EmiliaApfelweinhence the video where analog gear-heads couldn’t tell the difference between the obx software and the real analog ob-x8
“Analog good, digital bad,” very sophisticated understanding.
Sounds exactly like layering a few vsts. Like a bad Spire demo
To each their own though 🤷🏻♂️
